OUE gunning for more asset enhancement strategies by 2016

ORP's retail podium underway.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, OUE is continuing with a series of asset enhancements. One Raffles Place’s (ORP) retail podium is expected to open by April, and ORP could be divested to C-REIT by next year. Construction of the retail podium at OUE Downtown is underway and expected to be completed by 2016.

Management is actively exploring ways to extract value out of US Bank Tower, possibly converting part of the office space into apartments for sale. As for Twin Peaks, it is contemplating converting the unsold units into rental apartments with service when it obtains the Temporary Occupation Permit in 2015. These could subsequently be on-sold to OUE H-Trust.

OUE has a track record of sussing out interesting deals and has the balance sheet to do so. We maintain our BUY recommendation and TP of SGD2.83, pegged to a 35% discount to RNAV.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
